A stone thrown vertically on Mars Suppose a stone is thrown vertically upward from the edge of a cliff on Mars (where the acceleration due to gravity is only about 12 ft/s2) with an initial velocity of 64 ft/s from a height of 192 ft above the ground. The height s of the stone above the ground after t seconds is given by s = −6t2 + 64t + 192.
- a. Determine the velocity v of the stone after t seconds.
- b. When does the stone reach its highest point?
- c. What is the height of the stone at the highest point?
- d. When does the stone strike the ground?
- e. With what velocity does the stone strike the ground?
